Shield Steel Disc Cutter Set, 4 Punches, 8-22 mm, Jewellery Making Tool
This disc cutter set allows for the precise and repeatable cutting of shield-shaped blanks from non-ferrous metal sheet. The set includes a solid steel die block and four punches, all machined from hardened and tempered carbon tool steel for durability and a clean cutting action.
To use, simply place your sheet metal (up to 18 gauge / 1.02 mm) into the die slot, insert the desired punch, and strike the bevelled end firmly with a suitable hammer. The set produces four distinct shield sizes: 8.14 x 12.45 mm, 9.97 x 15.24 mm, 11.88 x 18.15 mm, and 13.86 x 21.19 mm. Using a cutting lubricant is recommended to prolong the life of the cutting edges.
Ideal for jewellers fabricating pendants and earrings, or for model makers and craftspeople requiring consistent decorative components from materials like silver, gold, copper, and brass.
